Multi digit subtraction with zeros

Multi-digit subtraction is the process of subtracting numbers that have more than one digit, often involving borrowing from higher place values.

When subtracting numbers with zeros, you may need to borrow from the next non-zero digit to the left. This can change the zeros into other digits.

Borrowing is a method used in subtraction when the top digit is smaller than the bottom digit. You take 1 from the next left digit to make the top digit larger.
